Win 1 of 5 Wild Basket Gift Baskets Worth $100 Each!

Dearest Darling readers…have you noticed what I have lately? You know those tell tale white, red and silver decorations that have been dotting the shop displays and aisles? Yes that’s right, it’s almost Christmas-eeek! And if you like to give food as gifts as much as I do I have something great for you!

I used to live in the North Side and I know a lot of people north side say that they don’t have as much choice as on the other side of the bridge. In Neutral Bay on Grosvenor Street there are wine bars, restaurants, cafes and of course Australian food providore Wild Basket is keeping locals “local”.

Wild Basket opened its doors in January this year but there is something different about what Wild Basket stocks. Until now the Sydney deli scene was very much dominated by European products, however more and more shoppers are becoming focused on buying local. Owners Kristy & Trent Robinson have carefully selected each product. The couple had a strong passion for Australian food and a vision to bring all their favourite producers together under the one roof, focusing on Australia’s finest. The store showcases small-producer wine, artisan cheese, fresh Sonoma bread, preserves and even organic eggs are delivered fresh from the farm every week. There is an abundance of unique products!

The shop has a well-stocked cheese fridge in the corner and a book case housing some of Australia’s best cook books (including some very collectible signed titles from Adriano Zumbo, Matt Moran, Neil Perry, Sheridan Rogers, Luke Nguyen & Christine Manfield).

This Christmas they have beautifully presented gift baskets. Each one is bursting with unique, hand-crafted products of the highest quality but it is all Australian produce-no more tired looking shortbread and jams! You can also build your own basket by browsing the shelves and selecting your own delights, then let one of their team put it together for you. After shopping, finish off your food pilgrimage with an espresso using Bills Beans from Orange!

Thanks to Wild Basket, five lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will each win a gift basket filled with hand-crafted Australian products valued at $100 and each winner will also receive a $20 gift voucher to use in-store!
